Medical debt is a pervasive issue in the United States, with millions of Americans facing financial hardship due to high healthcare costs.
According to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, over a quarter of non-elderly adults in the U.S. have difficulty paying their medical bills. In fact,
66.5 percent of bankruptcies are due to medical debt.
Studies have shown that individuals burdened by medical debt are more likely to delay or forgo necessary medical care, leading to poorer health outcomes in the long run.
Derek Marshall doesn't take money from for-profit insurance like his opponent Jay Obernolte does. He relies on grassroots support from people like you, because that's who he works for and cares about.
Countries with universal healthcare systems, such as Canada and the United Kingdom, consistently outperform the U.S. in terms of healthcare outcomes and cost efficiency.
Canceling medical debt is not only a matter of economic justice, but also a public health imperative.
A single payer system would not only alleviate the financial burden of medical debt, but also streamline the healthcare system and improve overall health outcomes for all Americans.
